Bates Community Development Corporation

Hello there!  This is Nachand Trabue , Executive Director of Bates Community Development Corporation (Bates CDC) sending out a personal appeal for your support of Bates CDC on SEPTEMBER 12th for "GIVE FOR GOOD LOUISVILLE".  

Why give to Bates CDC?   

·       to help us continue to offer educational and culturally enriching activities to youth through our Kingdom Academy after school and summer programs

·       to help in providing food, clothing, affordable housing and programs like our free tax services to THOUSANDS who come to our doors each year requesting our help

·      to make a lasting impact on families and children in the Smoketown & Shelby Park neighborhoods who deserve more than a "hand out" but a "hand up" in achieving a better quality of life.

So is there any reason NOT to support Bates CDC? 

You have 24 hours to make your online donation. Please make your online gift between September 12, 2024, Midnight - 11:59 p.m. ET on September 12TH!!! Join us to make an impact. 

Remember:  “GIVE FOR GOOD" then "PAY IT FORWARD!”

Healthy lifestyles are promoted through fitness classes and healthy living events that bring education and awareness. Income management is integral to our tax preparation services and program.

We exist, in part, to serve those who are in need but also present them with opportunities to give back to the community.
